Help needed about Soviet aces

[Capitaine Vengeur 263]

Priviets. Sorry not to ask in Russian, but I would need help from Russian-speaking Net surfers. I'm building a couple of campaigns for Wings over Russia, including genuine aces within their units. But unlike the Axis or Allied aces, I can find but very few data for the Soviet aces: their final score, and the units where they served. I can't find precisely, at the date of a campaign start, in what unit a given ace was, and how big his score was, provided he had scored already. So I would gratefully welcome links to any site in Russian that could help for that matter, (Bless the automatic translators!)

I'll look up some info. Some of these aces also scored in Korea so final scores are a bit difficult story

 

Forgot to ask, from which era you need them, I guess WW2? Or WWI Imperial Russian?

Thank you Comrad. Fortunately, I have been lucky enough to discover these links already, and some very useful others, which by cross-referencing can give me the exact number of air kills and good estimations about the number of air missions flown by each ace within its regiment at the day when my campaigns begin (8 May 1942 and 8 April 1944 for my two Crimean campaigns). But it is still a long hard work for the 1944 campaign, as many of the best Soviet air regiments fought over Crimea that month to liberate Sevastopol. There were especially the 6 elite regiments of famous General 'Ye Ya' Savitskiy's 3 IAK VVS: thus, I have found already at least 18 aces or future aces present in the 402 IAP on 8 April 1944 (the highest-scoring Soviet air regiment of WW2!), and about 21 in the 43 IAP ! - which means I had to void (yet name in notes) some of them.
